"With 3 satellites there are 2 possible solutions to the equations. Since we know we are on earth and not in space one solution can be discarded. So in theory 4 satellites are required in practice not."
I mentioned this myself elsewhere. But as you of course know, one of those solutions is clearly nonsense, so there is no ambiguity.
This exactly what I said: one solution is nonsense. Your explanation I have read only afterward otherwise I hadn't wrote mine.
They are in "bad guy" territory at the latest with Guantanamo. This incarceration and torture of people without enough evidence to start a trial is way past the limits of civilisation. If they are shocked about it like about Abu Greibh and abolish it immediately but no they continue it shameless for years after years.
Guantanamo is only the most visible tip of the iceberg. The whole war in Iraq was against international law and without any evidence of this "weapons of mass destruction" (the whole non-US world was laughing about the presentation of the pretended "facts"). Abduction and torture of foreign citizens also is not a attribute of "good guy".
I could ramble about so many "bad guy" things the USA have done lately, my keyboard would drown in the froth forming at my mouth. I'm not sure the EU would be acting better in the same position, but the USA are doing it right now in reality before our eyes.
This was a kind of requirement from the beginning. USA has requested Galileo uses other frequencies so it can be jammed without damage to GPS. As the EU is timid of the USA it licked its boots.

Athesim is the word for believing in non-existence of any deity. There are religions without any deity therefore atheism doesn't mean having no religion. The word for not believing in (unprovable) existence of deities is agnosticism.
Who is called upon proving something has nothing to do with the meaning of words. Explaining wrong things quite well also doesn't change the falsehood.
Relational databases and SQL are a least common denominator of database-usages and therefore usable by many. In my 20+ years of experience with commercial usage of databases I have yet to see one for which relational databases are near optimum. The major bonus is, everyone and his dog can understand SQL.
You make atheism sound more like a religion than what it actually is...
Atheism is a kind of religion. Since existence of $DEITY can't be neither proved not disproved, atheism as believing in something unprovable is equivalent to religion.
Agnosticism is the non-religious kind of thinking about existence of any $DEITY.
Also most people like modifying the defaults in new.git/config file (at the very least most people like to customize the remote origin url to make pushing easier) and most people want "something" in their.gitignore file unless they're got the worlds cleanest "make clean" makefile.
Why would you have any generated files in the source-tree? A clean separation between source and generated files is easy with VPATH and enables compiles from one source (NFS-mounted) to different OS/CPU versions. A very clean "make clean" translates to an easy and obviously correct "rm -r ${OBJDIR}".
If it absorbs heat (IR) and turns it into energy, it's not a Photo-voltaic device, it's a thermo-couple.
Absorbing IR light instead of visible light doesn't turn it into a thermo-coupled device. The article says "photoactive plastic cell" so it's clearly a photo-voltaic device.
Einstein definitely believed in a God who was a person.
To quote Einstein: "It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly." (Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman (eds) (1981). Albert Einstein, The Human Side. Princeton University Press. p. 43.)
Buddhism by itself is an athiest religion - there is no such thing as God in a purely Buddhist worldview.
Budda says enlightenment is possible without god, but this doesn't mean he disputed the existence of gods. Quite contrary because gods also are subject to the circle of life: Sasra.
The abstract isn't saying the wave-function is real, if says if the wave-function isn't real than quantum theory is wrong. Since general theory of relativity and quantum theory are incompatible in some aspects we *know* quantum-theory is partially wrong (like Newtonian physics). So, while mathematically interesting, it's old news.
Unless you stop random mutation though some sort of Genetic Purity process their will always be Evolution.
Mutation doesn't have to be random, just happening. It could be thru artificial gen-engineering. I think this will be the source of the next major change in humanity (if the species could still be called human).
Conservative can mean many things but in the end one key value is caution, bordering on skepticism - unwilling to believe a claim just because someone says it is so.
Are conservatives so "unwilling to believe" to statements of religious authorities? I'm skeptical about that.
If they would put scrutiny to all assertion-generating systems in the same way, nothing would be wrong for being skeptical of science. They should be equally skeptical of theology.
Since "Many More" I'm often frustrated by not being able to navigate the article-stream in a meaningful way.
The feature I'm missing most (after getting rid of "Many More";-)) is a mode to read from old posts to the newer ones with current position saved between visits.
The Gray Area Questions I found most interesting, unfortunately in part 1) it was clearly ("I don't know what MP3 files you are talking about") not understood that the subtopics referred to the legally purchased CDs.

In my youth I could hear 18kHz. So is this only for older / deaf users?
No, it's only 50%. The other 50% is selection. So this is only half of very old news.
Fashion is always about wearing things other people find good looking.

Games *are* the major sector missing mostly on Linux. Or why else are the humble-bundle releases so breaking news?
Games are the only applications I've ever run on a non-*x os. My mom and sister don't play games and are satisfied with Linux.

Perhaps someone can give info about this?
"The reason is that they don't want to force people to have to buy a proprietary program to be able to read official documents"
Incedible this isn't self-evident for any government.
